Salut Folks,
just had a bit of spare time to re-iterate the test, if my Acer TM634 
(with it's Nvidia 2 Go) would now be ready for suspend-to-disk.

Since some time ago, it is no problem to suspend to disk, if using the 
open-source (i.e. nv) driver for X. As it has problems with perfomance, 
e.g. DVD-playback is so slow, that the audio stops playing... I need to 
use the closed source driver.
With plain Linux 2.6.9 it nearly worked. It reported:
Could not suspend device 0000:01:00.0: error -1

After a quick search on Nvidia's forums I steped over Haggis dirty hack 
for the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1. I attached this. Now suspending to 
disk works relyably for me.

Cheers

I'm using software suspend 2.1. For me suspend works fine, but the system 
freezes as soon as it is resumed, I only see a black screen then. Driver nv 
works without any problems. Any hints what could be the cause?

I did not patch in anything into the kernel. I used a vanilla 2.6.9 (only 
the Makefile was patched to show 2.6.9 instead of 8 ... maybe somebody 
watched a bit too much tv... :-)
So I did not use swsusp 2.1. And I could not manage to freeze on resume 
this time. So, why didn't you try the vanilla-kernel, with the 
Haggi' s patch for the nvidia driver?
When you test - be sure to sync before suspending. It's the second best, 
besides having a jung backup handy.

I guess I'm doing something driver related that Pavel isn't or vv :>.
Can I get a pointer to the driver source?

The closed source driver from Nvidia is at
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6111/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run
For me to make it work, you first needed to extract it with --extract-only
Then apply Haggi's patch (attached). Otherwise it refused to suspend:
  Could not suspend device 0000:01:00.0: error -1
But all this is not with Swsusp 2.1, but with the 2.6.9-kernel, and works 
as it should.
I think Christian is also using 6.111??? nvidia driver with Swsusp 2.1.

I played a bit with my X setup. When I force X to use the ali-agp instead 
of the "NVIDIA internal" I get a nearly lockedup machine on resume. This 
is obviously some bug in the linux-agp-driver-tree. Also if I change to a 
runlevel without X I may rmmod the nvidia module but not the agp-modules. 
So they are really buggy (at least the ali-agp, which I would have to 
use). The workaround, if I get such a lockedup machine is to login over 
the network and
  killall -9 X
because kill alone will not be enought. So you may want to try
      Option      "NvAGP" "1"
in your /etc/X11/XF86Config.

Let us know if this gets you any further. When I find time, I will give 
swsusp 2.1 another try myself!

I disabled AGP in my kernel config, recompiled the module and added the line 
mentioned above in my xorg.conf - nothing changed. Screen is still black 
after resume. But I can confirm that I can log in via network and killall -9 
X.

Tried with nvidias new driver 1.0-6629 today. I managed to make it work once, 
but I couldn't reproduce it... :(

I am verry impressed. I had a try myself today and did not succeed. Then I 
took a look at the driver (6629 -> nv.c) and discovered, that they removed 
all ACPI support, which was in 6111. So your once success with 6629 is a 
little miracle. But maybe ACPI is not allways needed :-))))
So, from time to time, I have the trouble, that my keyboard is not 
behaving well after suspend (which comes from X). When I login over the 
network, and issue a
  chvt 6
  chvt 7
sequence, all will be back to normal. I start now including a change to 
vt-6 before suspending into my script. I will report back, if this is a 
better solution.
So for the record: working for me: 2.6.9-vanilla+nv-6111+haggis
                                    2.6.8-vanilla+nv-6111+haggis
                                    2.6.9+sw2.1.1+nv-6111+haggis

... because there's only one PM interface in 2.6 and it's not really
ACPI-specific. The driver might even work as expected now.
Note: I haven't seen the new code yet.

Salut Folks,

sadly I found out, that my suspend successes where with Linux 2.6.8, but 
none the less, it works the same with 2.6.9, as well as with 2.6.9 patched 
with swsusp-2.1.1
Regarding stability I had a bit more luck with the vanilla-kernels - so 
one time with swsusp 2.1.1 I could not revive the screen. finaly I 
logged-in through the network and issued a "shutdown -r now". As the X was 
going down, the virtual-console did show up again. So maybe I had the bad 
luck, that the keyboard did hang then. I sometimes needed to change to a 
virtual-console, or back to X to get a restored screen, but sometimes it 
worked without doing anything.
I tryed today Linux-2.6.10-rc1 (without Swsusp-2.1.1). To get the 
prorietary Nvidia-driver compiled, you may want to apply the attached 
patch nv-2.9.10-rc1-incl-haggis.diff. I did not try, to have only the 
changes needed for 2.6.9- 2.6.10-rc1 (which is the other attached patch). 
Don't even know, if the compiler likes it. Both patches are aginst the 
Nvidia-driver...
But for me, I could not get the machine going down to suspend. It shutdown 
the screen, and then sit there as long as you let it. By issuing some ACPI 
event, I always got it back to live, e.g. lid-switch, power-button ...

So besides the problem described in 
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3669, that the laptop does no long 
poweroff, since 2.6.9, S4 as such broke for me with 2.6.10-rc1.

So with 2.6.10-rc2 this regression is gone for me. We have another working 
combination: vanilla 2.6.10-rc2 and nvidia-6111+haggis+my-patch.

Vanilla kernel's suspend to disk is too slow for me. I needs 90 seconds to 
suspend the system (vs. 10 seconds with swsusp-2.1). I think I'll continue 
using nv until Nvidia releases a version of the driver that works without any 
problems for me.
